The clash of articulations : aesthetic shock, multivalent narratives and Islam in the post-9/11 era

Johnson, Rebecca January 2017 (has links)
This study investigates a multilingual, multi-genre data set of 13 post-9/11 popular culture videos, produced by performative artists from across global society, which use digital media aesthetics to defy hegemonic narratives relating to Islam and the War on Terror. The languages represented across the 13 texts are English, French, Spanish and Arabic; and the popular culture genres are hip-hop, comedy, punk and parkour. The texts are grouped thematically for analytical purposes into the following categories: 9/11, War on Terror, Clash of Civilisations, and Palestine. Using the sociological manifestation of narrative theory (Baker 2006, Somers 1994) as the conceptual framework, I firstly conduct a narrative analysis of the texts focusing on themes of temporality; character/identity; and multivalence, i.e. the co-existence of seemingly contradictory narratives within a single text (Stroud 2002). I argue that a combination of aesthetics and multivalence is deployed in all the videos, despite their creative and linguistic diversity, which functions to arrest viewers out of uncritical immersion in their normative (hegemonic) narrative environment, and open a space in the affective present for new meanings and values to enter. This technique or affective practice, which I term ‘aesthetic shock’, addresses a widespread critique of socio-narrative theory; namely, the failure to account for how social agents might subscribe to new narratives that contradict their existing worldview. Secondly, the socio-narrative framework is supplemented with recent scholarship on affect (Berlant 2011, Butler 2004) and Deleuzian philosophy (1987). This permits a deeper understanding of the texts as indicative of an epistemological groundswell that is symptomatic of our unfolding moment in history, whereby contradiction and aesthetics emerge as key narrative tools for resistance to the post-9/11 hegemonic order. The two models are connected from a translation studies vantage point by the notion of ‘renarration’ (Baker 2008), offering a unique angle on the flows, patterns of exchange, and evolving identity constructs in the digital media context. Following detailed exploration of the texts and their production contexts, consistent features are drawn out in an attempt to identify emerging patterns between them. These findings include the affective practice of what I term ‘conscious individualism’, the creation of intimate publics (Berlant 2011), and a united, pluralised front against the neoliberal economic agenda for which prominent public narratives such as Samuel Huntington’s reductive ‘Clash of Civilisations’ thesis (1996) act as a smokescreen. Ultimately, it is argued that the texts should be seen as deterritorialising sites of aesthetic activism; a means for the non-elites masses across global society to creatively capitalise on the affordances of the digital era, to assert themselves against oppressive cultural narratives and affirm new modes of thinking and being the world. Expressions of political resistance such as the 13 texts analysed in this study are becoming more visible and more vital across different linguacultures as the rationalist nation-state paradigm loses currency, evoking the possibility of futures other than that of capitalist progress. I contend that we must pay close attention to such narratives –both their message and their medium – if we are to achieve a more constructive and nuanced appreciation of the chaotic and contradictory world in which we live.

”Jag skulle vilja se en studie på vad den där valken gör för skillnad egentligen” : En kulturanalytisk studie i kroppsuppfattning och kroppsnormer / “I’d like to see a study on what kind of difference that fat roll actually makes” : A study on body image and body norms from a cultural analytic viewpoint

Ölverud, Amanda January 2017 (has links)
This essay researches the impact societys ideal pictures of the female body actually make on individuals. In my studies, five female identified informants were interviewed about how they perceive and feel about their bodies. It also discusses different strategies to control the body in order to acheive the ideal body. Two of the informants that contributed to this essay are selfappointed body positive activists and fight in the anti-movement against the societal preassure and expectations of the female body. The purpose of this essay is to discuss and enlight the hegemony regarding bodily expressions, and also its opposition.

Čína jako možný světový hegemon - vybrané aspekty / China as a Potential Global Hegemon - Selected Aspects

Vorel, Tomáš January 2011 (has links)
The thesis deals with analysis of China with respect to its potential hegemony which is defined by three various attributes. Firstly, the economic attribute examines the economic performance of the country, formed by GDP level and its several components. Concerning foreign trade, the most essential part is the country's import situation. As for the financial attribute, it is observed how elements of hegemony interact with the usage of China's currency as the world's key currency and the effects of developed financial or capital markets. The last attribute is concerned with the diplomatic position of the country, determined by the level of military expenditures and its voting power within various international institutions.

ComunicaÃÃo e contra-hegemonia: a comunicaÃÃo como estratÃgia polÃtica do MST / Communication and counter-hegemony: production strategy policy as communicative MST

Helena Martins do RÃgo Barreto 31 May 2012 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta pesquisa parte de inquietaÃÃes sobre as formas de aÃÃo polÃtica experimentadas na sociedade contemporÃnea, na qual reconhecemos a existÃncia de mutaÃÃes sociais e tecnolÃgicas, destacadamente na Ãrea da comunicaÃÃo social, que possibilitam aos diversos sujeitos inovaÃÃes do ponto de vista de suas prÃticas, bem como mudanÃas polÃticas que desafiam aqueles que buscam efetivar alteraÃÃes substanciais na forma de organizaÃÃo social hegemÃnica. A partir do olhar acerca do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, a pesquisa discute a inter-relaÃÃo entre comunicaÃÃo e polÃtica e questiona como o desenvolvimento das comunicaÃÃes tem alterado o fazer polÃtico, se os movimentos sociais acompanham as transformaÃÃes nesse campo ou se vivenciam novos modos de atuaÃÃo por conta dele; bem como se as prÃticas comunicativas contribuem para a efetivaÃÃo de suas estratÃgias contra-hegemÃnicas. Para verificar o exposto, analisa o 5 Congresso Nacional do MST, ocorrido em 2007, Ãltimo dos cinco congressos jà realizados, um momento importante por ser o espaÃo de definiÃÃo polÃtica e de diÃlogo com a base do Movimento e com a sociedade em geral. à salutar, ainda, por ter consolidado uma mudanÃa na avaliaÃÃo polÃtica sobre a conformaÃÃo das relaÃÃes sociais no campo e dos desafios para a realizaÃÃo da Reforma AgrÃria, em uma conjuntura polÃtica desfavorÃvel para as organizaÃÃes populares, no Brasil. Nesse sentido, o trabalho aponta os limites da aÃÃo contra-hegemÃnica do MST, mas tambÃm as potencialidades acumuladas ao longo dos quase trinta anos do Movimento, em especial aquelas relativas à Ãrea da comunicaÃÃo, pois percebe a aÃÃo construÃÃo contra-hegemÃnica como um processo que deve ser deflagrado antes mesmo da tomada efetiva do poder. / This research departs from reflections upon the forms of political action in contemporary society, in which we recognize the existence of social and technological changes, especially in the field of social communication, that allow several subjects to innovate concerning their practices, as well as political changes that challenge those who seek to actualize substantial changes in the hegemonic form of social organization. From the per- spective over the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), the research discusses the inter-relationshipbetween communication and politics and questions how the development of communications has altered the making of politics, if the social movements follow the transformations in this field or if they live the new modes of acting through them; as well as if the communicative practices contribute for the realization of its counter-hegemonic strategies. To verify the above, I analyze the MSTâs 5 th National Congress, occurred in 2007, the last congress conducted, an important moment for being a space of political definition and dialogue with the Movementâs grassroots and society in general. It is important, also, for having consolidated a change in the political evaluation over the conformation of social relationships in the countryside and the challenges for the realization of agrarian reform in an unfavorable conjuncture for the popular organizations in Brazil. In this sense, the work points to the limits of MSTâs counter-hegemonic action, but also to the potentialities accumulated over its almost thirty years of existence as a movement, and especially those concerning the communications area, as it perceives the action of counter-hegemonic construction as a process that must be started before the effective power take-over.

O uso das pesquisas no jornalismo impresso contemporâneo: uma nova forma de \'contar\' a história / The use of searches in contemporary printed journalism: a new way of \'telling\' history

Alcides Garcia Junior 20 April 2010 (has links)
As estatísticas estão presentes em todos os campos do conhecimento humano, fazem parte de nosso cotidiano e influenciam nossa capacidade de posicionamento frente à realidade, tornando factíveis, por meio de quantificações, noções de sentido muitas vezes abstratas. As pesquisas, quando publicadas na imprensa escrita, tornam-se instrumentos incontestáveis de análise de fatos econômicos, sociais, políticos e de opinião. Procura-se investigar neste trabalho a implicação desse fator para a formação de nossa noção de realidade e suas decorrências para a escrita da História. O objetivo é analisar em que circunstâncias ocorreram o aumento na publicação de pesquisas entre os anos de 1985 e 2000. O objeto de estudo é a divulgação da Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego da Fundação SEADE/DIEESE em dois jornais paulistanos. A hipótese central é a de que o jornalismo impresso diário passou, durante o período considerado, por mudanças contínuas nas quais o uso das pesquisas e assertivas numéricas atuou em legitimação das transformações de cunho liberal ocorridas na política e na economia mundial, tornando as informações mais racionais e mais compreensíveis para o leitor. As principais questões teóricas tratam de transpor a noção de habitus em Pierre Bourdieu para a função das estatísticas como uma forma de controle das transformações nas sociedades contemporâneas e como normalização útil ao exercício do poder conforme alguns dos conceitos presentes na obra de Michel Foucault. / Statistics are present in every single field of human knowledge, they are a part of our everyday lives and they influence our capacity of taking a stand for reality, making practicable, through a series of quantifications, notions of sense which are often abstract. When published, researches become undisputable tools of analysis of economical, social, and political facts, as well as facts of opinion. In this work we intend to investigate the implications of this factor regarding to the formation of our notion of reality and its consquencies in the writing of History. Our main purpose is to analyse the circumstancies in which occurred the increase of the publication of researches between 1985 and 2000. The object of study is the divulgation of Research of Employment and Unemployment, a document by Fundação SEADE/DIEESE in two newspapers of the city of São Paulo. The pivotal hypothesis is that the daily printed journalism has passed, during the period here considered, through continuous changes in which the use of researches and numerical assertions acted in order to legitimate the liberal transformations in the worldwide politics and economics, which in turn made the informations more rational and more comprehensible to the readers. The main theoretical questions deal with the transposition of Pierre Bourdieus notion of habitus into the function of the statistics as a form of control of the transformations in contemporary societies and as a useful normalization to the exercise of power according to some of the concepts present in the work of Michel Foucault.

Cenários e personagens de uma arte popular: futebol brasileiro, hegemonia, narradores e sociedade civil / Scenarios and characters of a popular art: Brazilian football, hegemony, narrators and civil society

Raul Milliet Filho 28 August 2009 (has links)
No decorrer de vários anos de leituras e intervenções práticas, foram recolhidos ideias e eixos temáticos, alinhavados e sistematizados na troca de passes entre a arte do futebol brasileiro e seus principais narradores, a partir dos conceitos de hegemonia, sociedade civil e intelectual orgânico em Gramsci. Paralelamente, captou-se o narrador em Walter Benjamin e a sua visão sobre a modernidade. A tese abordará basicamente esses pontos. Tudo em Cenários e Personagens de décadas distintas, em espaços geográficos não necessariamente iguais ou limítrofes, mas capazes de dialogar através dos temas escolhidos. Cenários e personagens que percorrem uma trajetória iniciada na Inglaterra na segunda metade do século XIX, até sua consolidação no Brasil na década de 1960. Dos personagens, percorremos as trilhas de Gentil Cardoso, Dori Kürschner, Neném Prancha, Nelson Rodrigues e João Saldanha, tendo como inspiração os seus grandes solistas: de Marcos Carneiro de Mendonça a Gerson, passando por Friedenreich, Fausto, Leônidas, Didi, Garrincha e Pelé. / During several years of readings and practical interventions, ideas and axial themes were collected, sketched, and systematized in the exchange of passes between the art of Brazilian soccer and major narrators, from Gramsci\'s concepts of hegemony, civil society, and organic intellectuals. Similarly, the narrator is captured in Walter Benjamin and his vision of modernity. The thesis will mainly deal with these points. The content addresses Characters and Settings of distinctive decades, and geographic spaces not necessarily equal or bordering, but able to dialogue through the chosen themes. Characters and settings that cover a trajectory started in England in the second half of the nineteenth century until its consolidation in Brazil in the 1960s. Among the historical personalities, we followed the paths of Gentil Cardoso, Dori Kürschner, Neném Prancha, Nelson Rodrigues and João Saldanha; taking as inspiration the great soloists: from Marcos Carneiro de Mendonça to Gerson, in addition to Friedenreich, Fausto, Leônidas, Didi, Garrincha and Pelé.

Modernização e civilização em debate: proposta(s) positivista(s), embate de ideias e ação política no Brasil ao final do século XIX / Modernization and civilization in debate: positivist(s) proposal(s), clash of ideas and political action in Brazil at the end of the nineteenth century

André Luciano Simão 12 August 2013 (has links)
O presente trabalho analisa a obra de dois autores positivistas com atuação intelectual, política e social marcante durante os últimos anos do século XIX e primeiros anos do século XX no Brasil: Luís Pereira Barreto e Alberto Sales. Importantes representantes do positivismo paulista, tais autores, guiados por visão cientificista da realidade do país, elaboraram visão peculiar das necessidades de mudanças do país rumo à civilização e ao progresso. A hipótese trabalhada é a de que tais autores expressam, na esfera intelectual, um embate entre diferentes grupos e estratos nacionais interessados em impor à nação seu projeto de modernização, um embate pela hegemonia intelectual em momento de importante transição do país. Desta forma, trabalha-se com a ideia de que tais autores apropriam-se do discurso positivista com interesse sincero de colocar suas percepções e entendimentos em prática e alterar concretamente as condições sociais, econômicas e políticas do país. Discorda- se, deste modo, das análises que compreendem os posicionamentos intelectuais apenas como forma de reorganizar o discurso autoritário ou como modo de crítica ao governo, mais ou menos acentuada, de indivíduos distantes das esferas de poder. / The present study examines the work of two positivist authors with outstanding intellectual, political and social performance during the last years of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century in Brazil: Luís Pereira Barreto and Alberto Sales. Important representatives of paulista positivism, such authors, led by scientist vision of the reality of the nation, developed peculiar vision of the changing needs of the country towards progress and civilization. A crafted hypothesis is that such authors express, in the intellectual sphere, a contest between different groups and strata national interested in impose to the nation its modernization project, a contest for the intellectual hegemony in a important moment for the country\'s transition. Thus, we work with the idea that such authors appropriated from the positivist discourse with sincere interest to put their perceptions and understandings into practice and change concretely the social, economic and political of the nation. Disagree is thus of the analyzes who understand the intellectual positions only as a way of reorganize the authoritative discourse or as a form of criticism of the government, more or less pronounced, of individuals distant of the spheres of power.

Dos antagonismos na apropriação capitalista da água à sua concepção como bem comum

Flores, Rafael Kruter January 2013 (has links)
Os conflitos e debates sobre usos, propriedade e gestão da água ganharam evidência nos processos de privatização de serviços de abastecimento nos anos 1990 e, atualmente, aparecem em outros espaços de luta social. Os distintos temas relacionados à água, no entanto, são usualmente trabalhados desarticuladamente, o que contribui para a disseminação de imprecisões teórico-conceituais que refletem as lutas sociais as concepções emergentes: o bem comum é um conceito vivo cujas imprecisões contribuem para sua cooptação pela hegemonia organizada por oligopólios que concentram as tecnologias de apropriação da água. Esse trabalho propõe uma análise dos diferentes temas da água a partir da articulação dos conceitos de metabolismo social, valor e luta de classes, em Marx; e das concepções emergentes nas lutas contra privações no acesso à água. Realiza, pela abstração, uma crítica ontológica da apropriação capitalista da água, que indica suas contradições e as esclarece desde sua gênese. A crítica ontológica é um movimento que mexe com todas as dimensões do conhecimento (epistemológicas, teóricas e metodológicas) e que reproduz o concreto, a sociedade capitalista em suas múltiplas determinações, pela abstração. Recria, dessa forma, essa realidade a partir de seu núcleo fundamental, o valor. As formas de apropriação da água na sociedade capitalista são organizadas pela produção de mais valor em uma dinâmica de luta de classes: a água é natureza incorporada na criação de mais valor. A análise do tema da água, nesse sentido, deve identificar os interesses de classe em disputa e os reflexos dessa disputa nos usos da água e nas formas de vida. Nessa perspectiva, se percebe que as formulações sobre a água como bem econômico, ao desconectar o valor-de-uso da água do valor atribuído pelo dinheiro, engendram uma relação fetichizada, na qual os mecanismos de gestão são separados das práticas de apropriação e integrados aos valores legitimados pelo capital. Ocultam, nesse processo, os aspectos desiguais e destrutivos das práticas de apropriação da água. O consenso ativo conquistado por essa hegemonia se manifesta na estratégia de ONGs, iniciativas políticas e análises acadêmicas enredadas em armadilhas teóricas e políticas, que aparece na confusão conceitual entre a água como bem público e bem comum. Inspirado em lutas sociais que alcançam a necessária crítica ontológica das relações capitalistas, defendo que uma concepção da água como bem comum está na afirmação éticoprática de que os frutos da natureza pertencem à humanidade. Pertencem, portanto, a todos os que deles necessitam para viver. O trabalho propõe, de forma conclusiva, uma compreensão universalizante da organização: a apropriação da natureza e da água é também a organização do metabolismo social que, na sociedade capitalista, se fundamenta na extração de mais valor pela classe capitalista em todos os momentos da vida. As concepções que emergem nas lutas sociais esboçam novas formas de organizar o metabolismo social, nas quais o critério para a apropriação da água e da natureza é o bem comum, um princípio ético e universal: a reprodução da vida humana. / Conflicts and debates surrounding water uses, properties and management became evident with the privatization processes in the nineties. Nowadays, these issues have appeared in further social struggles. Even though, the various issues related to water are usually approached in a non-articulated way, and that contributes to the dissemination of theoretical and conceptual imprecisions and contradictions, with consequences in social struggles that oppose capitalist appropriation of water and the concepts that emerge on it, like the common good. The common good is a living concept, but its theoretical and conceptual imprecisions contribute to its cooptation by a hegemonic bloc organized by transnational corporations which concentrate the technologies of water appropriation. This dissertation proposes an analysis of different issues related to water through the articulation of the concepts of social metabolism, value and class struggles in Marx; and conceptions that emerge in social struggles. It makes, through abstraction, an ontological critique of capitalist appropriation of water that indicates its contradictions and clarifies its genesis. The ontological critique moves every dimensions of knowledge (epistemological, theoretical and methodological) and reproduces the concrete, capitalist society in its multiple determinations. It recreates this reality through its fundamental nucleus, value. The different forms of water appropriation in a capitalist society are organized for the production of surplus value in a class struggle dynamic: water is nature incorporated in the creation of surplus value. The analysis of water issues, in this sense, must identify the class interests in dispute and also the reflection of this dispute in water uses and ways of life. In this perspective, it becomes evident that the formulations of water as an economic good, by disconnecting use-value from value attributed by money, engender a fetishized relation in which management mechanisms are separated from appropriation practices and integrated to values legitimated by capital. They conceal, in this process, unequal and destructive aspects of water appropriation. The active consensus conquered by this hegemony is manifested in the strategy of NGOs, political initiatives and academic analysis limited by concepts like governance and civil society as opposed to the State, and in the conceptual confusion between water as a public good and as a common good. Inspired in social struggles that reach the necessary ontological critique of capitalist relations, I argue that a conception of water as a common good is the ethical and practical affirmation that the gifts of nature belong to humanity: they belong to all who need it for living. This dissertation proposes, as a conclusion, a universalizing comprehension of organization: the appropriation of nature and water is also the organization of social metabolism which is founded, in capitalist society, in the extraction of surplus value by the capitalist class in every moment of life. Water as a common good is a conception that emerge in social struggles that aim at new ways of organizing social metabolism in which the criteria to appropriate water and nature is an ethical and universal principle: the reproduction of human life.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T14:55:40Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Walter Barbieri Junior.pdf: 2020620 bytes, checksum: 117bad0803b425249f01ca341e314817 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-09-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The Chinese expansion in world capitalism has provoked a great interest in China s role in the 21st century, especially in relation to the State role in the face of the so-called market forces. Within a millenary civilization, the Chinese nation State, formally created in 1912, has been built along a process that had two milestones: the revolution triumph in 1949, whose stated goal by the main leaders was the socialist transformation, first step for the construction of a classless society; and the Four Modernization Programs, implemented by the forces led by Deng Xiaoping from 1978 on. This thesis examines more specifically the role of the Chinese nation-State building as a foundation for the expansion in world capitalism in the last thirty-five years, following the post-World War II Maoist period. In this work the author searches for the understanding of how the national ideology pervades the process of contemporary Chinese State Constitution. In addition, this study examines this State intervention in economic development of that social formation and more particularly the possibility of hegemonic rise of China in world capitalism in the 21st century / A expansão chinesa no capitalismo mundial tem provocado um grande interesse pelo papel da China no século XXI, principalmente em relação ao protagonismo do Estado frente às chamadas forças do mercado. No interior de uma civilização milenar, o Estado-nação chinês, criado formalmente em 1912, constituiu-se ao longo de um processo que teve dois marcos principais: o triunfo da revolução, em 1949, cujo objetivo declarado pelas principais forças dirigentes era a transformação socialista, primeiro passo para a construção de uma sociedade sem classes; e o Programa das Quatro Modernizações, implementado pelas forças lideradas por Deng Xiaoping a partir de 1978. Esta tese analisa, mais especificamente, o papel da construção do Estado-nação chinês como alicerce para a expansão no capitalismo mundial nos últimos trinta e cinco anos, período superior temporal, ao do período maoísta do pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial. Aqui se procura compreender de que forma a ideologia nacional perpassa o processo de constituição do Estado chinês contemporâneo. Além disso, o estudo analisa a forma de intervenção deste Estado no desenvolvimento econômico daquela formação social e, mais especialmente, a possibilidade de ascensão hegemônica da China no capitalismo mundial no século XXI
